For people with HIV or AIDS who also struggle with addiction, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that must be recognized and addressed simultaneously while they receive rehab for their drug or alcohol addiction. Keeping this client in recovery is not only essential for their well-being, but for the good of the public due to the fact they are likely to transmit their disease to others if their drug issue continue.
In many cases, people who struggle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently may have let their health fall apart because of the lack of care most people with addictions show themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Some quit taking their medication, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and may require critical medical intervention once they get addiction rehabilitation. Aside from treatment for their alcohol or drug addiction, in a rehab facility that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, clients will receive a medical assessment to see if they have any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for tuberculosis, Hepatitis A, B, and C, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.
